I specialise in supporting individuals experiencing trauma, chronic stress, and high levels of anxiety. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, constantly on edge, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they cannot shift. Trauma can deeply affect the nervous system, leaving you feeling disconnected or caught in fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown responses. I understand these reactions as protective adaptations shaped by past experiences — not personal weaknesses.

I work with couples who feel like they’re "flatmates who fight," and individuals who are tired of their own internal monologue tripping them up.
… Maybe your relationship has lost its spark, or maybe you’re an individual feeling disconnected from yourself and everyone else.

OCD is forever changing.
Treatment with me for OCD will start with helping you to better understand what's going on with your OCD and why. I am trained in both ERP and Cognitive Therapy for OCD, and can tailor treatment to you. I promise that I will work just as hard as you in our sessions, to make sure you achieve the progress you want and deserve.

TL;DR I mostly work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, and/or OCD stuff/intrusive thoughts, to better understand what's happening and find ways to improve things.
I’ll encourage your interest in yourself and your life, including the overlooked or unwanted aspects, as it’s hard to change what we don’t pay attention to. I don’t know what anyone should do and I don’t push solutions. Mostly I listen, offering thoughts, questions and ideas, and hopefully furthering a shared understanding of whatever we're talking about.

I have 15 years experience working with young people whom present with various anxiety disorders, depressive episodes, OCD and trauma. I was once “a young cool practitioner” within NHS services and have since worked for a private service. I must admit I am no longer the “young cool one” but instead “middle aged, experienced practitioner/ therapist”.

I’m trained in multiple approaches (including ACT and ERP which are the best-researched approaches for anxiety and OCD), which means I can adapt the sessions to you and the type of anxiety you're experiencing, and that’s often what makes the difference.
Anxiety has a way of shaping more of your life than you'd like. For some people it looks like panic or physical sensations. For others it's never feeling good enough, holding back in relationships, going quiet when they'd want to speak up, or pushing through everything until they're exhausted.
People come to me thinking something is wrong with them, when actually fear has just taken over.

How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
